• commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic
utensils on the ceramic glass, as they
may melt and damage the surface.
• Do not use the ceramic glass hotplate
surface for storage.
• When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
• Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.
• Do not use the hob as a chopping
board or a storage area, as this
increases the likelihood of it be-
ing damaged - e.g.; plastic utensils
placed on a warm hob may melt onto
it, and damage the ceramic glass
surface.
• Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or jam
- if they are spilled onto hot areas of
the hob they may damage it.
• lift pans onto and off the surface,
rather than sliding them across the
surface, to avoid marks and scratch-
es.
• If you use a wet paper towel to
remove spills from a warm heating
area of the hob, be careful to avoid
steam burns.
• Do not use abrasive powder cleaners,
metal wire wool pads, impregnated
plastic pads, detergents, bleaches,
bath stain removers, or chemical
oven cleaners; all these types of
products will damage the ceramic
glass.
• pans should not be allowed to come
into contact with coloured trims dur-
ing use as this may cause discoloura-
tion of the surface
